title: Unique trigonal prism encapsulated Ln complexes: a [Co(II)6Eu] and a [Co(II)6Dy] cage.
abstract: The use of 2-amino-isobutyric acid in Co/Ln chemistry has led to the isolation of two unique [Co(II)(6)Ln(III)] 3d-4f metallic cages in which the Ln(III) centre (Ln = Eu, Dy) is encapsulated within a Co(II)(6) trigonal prism.
